Sky & Telescope is at the Southern Star Convention. Delighted to be attending a presentation by Gayle H. Riggsbee who, in his talk on the 200-inch Hale telescope, used a photo from the February 1947 issue of the magazine ✨

The Moon and Venus — (crappy) handheld iPhone16 shot. Go out and take a look!!

At the opening plenary session of #AAS245 in National Harbor, MD. More than 3,600 assorted astronomers were in attendance.

The waxing crescent Moon and Venus are a delightful sight in the southwest after sunset. If you missed the January 3 conjunction, you’ll still get a nice view on January 4th — look for Saturn, too, this evening!

Happy Solstice ☀️

If you’re scrabbling to find a last-minute gift this holiday season, why don’t you give the gift of astronomy 💫🌖🪐✨

Over the next few evenings, the waxing crescent Moon glides past Venus, currently serving as the Evening Star. For more on what’s in the sky this week, go to skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-ne...

I can’t speak for my Croatian friends, but my Finnish side had a good chuckle and thought, “Fair enough” 😂😂😅 #DennisLehane #Finnishness #Finland

Before a short trip this summer — one of the four cats didn’t want to be left behind 😍

Look high in the southwest at dawn on the mornings of November 19-21 to see the Moon passing Pollux and Mars.
